CERVERA MOLINA, Ana Elvira. Borderline landscapes: the conception of nature in border territories. Perspectiva Geográfica [online]. 2019, vol.24, n.2, pp.105-124.  Epub 06-Abr-2020. ISSN 0123-3769.  https://doi.org/10.19053/01233769.9317.

This article examines the landscape by analyzing its representation and enunciation in borderline settings located southeast of New Spain from three narrations of travelers who toured the area between the late 17th and early 19th centuries. The purpose is to understand which conception of nature prevailed regarding Gorgias's three theses. Building on this analysis, it is argued that in the conception of nature, "nothing" and "non-being" are, from the idea of emptiness, potentially more creative to narrate the landscape than "everything" and "being" seen from the space that serves as the scene of human action.

Palavras-chave : Nature; landscapes; southeast; New Spain; limits; emptiness.
